Child serial killer Lucy Letby has lost her Court of Appeal bid to challenge her convictions.
At a two-and-a-half day hearing last month, Letby's lawyers asked senior judges for approval to bring an appeal against her convictions for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others.At a short hearing on Friday, Dame Victoria Sharp, sitting with Lord Justice Holroyde, said they had refused Letby's request.
Dame Victoria previously said it could be reported that her appeal was argued on four points related to the judge at her trial refusing legal applications.Lawyers for the former nurse, 34, were renewing efforts to bring an appeal before the panel of three judges.In August 2023, Letby, of Hereford, was convicted of the murders and attempted murders of the babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
